I don't know how you came up with 11 packages. -D -- Q: What is the difference between open-source and commercial software? A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version. For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you get the solution within a day. http://dman13.dyndns.org/~dman/
